The University of Sheffield’s Diamond building graces the cover of this month’s University Business magazine. As this is our annual estates issue, we look at some of the most impressive (and expensive) university buildings helping estates managers future-proof their campus

We also take a look at innovation in design and architecture in university teaching and learning spaces, including classrooms, lecture halls and libraries.

We interview London South Bank University’s Vice-Chancellor Professor David Phoenix. He talks about LSBU’s plans to become London’s top modern university by 2020.

If all that wasn’t enough, we’ve got updates from ASRA, CUBO and VWV, as well as some top opinion pieces from the Leadership Foundation for Higher Education’s Alison Jones, and the Russell Partnership’s David Russell.
